In the evening when Governor Will

ed by the Union Veteran Legion of

BLOODY SHIRT POLITICAL STUMP
SPEECH.
Governor Wilson is condemned for
having condeseended to reply to their
lsng-ago exploded arguments. Wheel
ing would have experienced much good
from the big reunion had it not been
for the unfortunate ending. As it is,
next years reunion, which has been
set for here, is likely to prove dismal
failure, for not only are large numbers
of old soldiers disgusted with the med
dlesome interference of politicians, but
business men who put up a guarantee
fund did not do it for the purpose of
furthering the political ends of either
party. Democrats subscribed largely
toward this eleventh reunion and
worked hard for its success. Naturally,
they are not well pleased with the open
insult offered the President nor the at
tempted boom of the g. 0. p., and will
not likely allow themselves to be caught
in such trap again.

Saur & Balsley, proprietors of
the mammoth Drug, Book and
Paint House of the Northwest,
ever made a promise in PRINT, a
contract in commerce, or a prop
osition in private, that was not
carried out to the letter.
They are as true to their
word as the needle to the pole,
and on the solid rock of truth
they founded their business, and
on it they intend to stand, and
having embodied in this the
three business graces--Greatest
Variety, Lowest Prices, Finest
Quality, they feel and know
that their position is impreg-
nable.
The drugs and medicines sold
at this house have awide repu
tation for their freshness and
purity, and here you can find
every thing in this line, at pri-
ces which enable all to procure
them.
They keep on hand an assort-
ment of trusses, supporters, etc
which would do credit to large
wholesale establishment. They
are headquarters for these
goods.
This house still remains the
wall paper king. The patterns
are more beautiful than ever, land
the prices lower than ever. Also
a full assortment of window cur
tains and fixtures.
A speciality is made in the
way Of paints, oils and brushes.
The quality of these goods they
keep is well known, having sold
them for the past quarter CEN
tury, andit will astonish one to
see what a large amount Of paint
can be had for a little money.
Saur & Balsley pride them
selves upon their book and sta
tionery department. 1t is COM
pleteness itself, and never be-
fore could books be bought so
cheap as now. Books of every
description in their stock, and
a fine assortment Of stationery
always in stock.
Toilet articles in endless va
riety, consisting Of perfumes,
brushes, combs, face and tooth
powders, cosmetics, etc.
The quality Of their dye stuffs
is proverbial, and they are used
by housewives generally.
